Story Behind The Song

I wrote "Soul Mate" as a wedding gift for my wife (now of almost nine years). It was our first dance...and we're still dancing.

Song Description

Keep your eyes and your heart open, and you will find that one special partner with whom life and love is, through all the ups and downs, a constant source of joy.

Lyrics

SOUL MATE

Words & Music
by Dan Gross


Some say that love is something two can learn
As long as passion flows and trust is earned
With a bit of laughter and a touch of fun
You can keep it together, you can make it run
But I know we've got something more that's hard to define
I can feel your heartbeat, you can read my mind

[CHORUS]
'Cause you're the only one
I could ever fall in love with
For the long run
And it's not for me to question
Why I had to wait
Now I know it's never too late
To find your soul mate

Don't search for love, no matter how you try
You blink your eyes and it just slips on by
Just let it come to you even if it seems
It's not the fantasy love in your dreams
I should know, I count my blessings each and every day
That something told me not to look away

[CHORUS]

I tried to find the reason why
You love me like you do, girl
It crossed my mind that love is blind
But I don't believe that's true, girl
This heart of mine just needed time
To find its way to you, girl
And that's why I'll be saying "I do"

[CHORUS]
